and while on serious matters...

i have encountered racial stereotyping hajaar times in delhi, but this was new even to me.

i was at the yusuf sarai market to arrange a honeymoon*. i noticed a guy standing by the khoobchand shop**, waving his arms, soliciting me with something indecipherable. i consider eveteasing as a non-bailable offence. furiously, i walked closer with my palms balled up in aggressive fists.

he was saying, “madam, pork?”

* it’s for my parents.
** khoobchand is an iconic butcher shop of delhi, with at least two branches that I know of.
